Camp Humphreys was built with south Korean taxapayers money

Camp Humphreys where the south Korean puppet ruler is feting the imperialist and fascist warmonger Trump is one of the biggest US military bases in the world costing over $10 billion to build. The idiotic , grovelling and toadying south Korean puppets contributed 90 per cent of the cost ! . When people try telling you that south Korea is "more wealthy " or "more prosperous " than People's Korea , you need to remember that most of south Korea's money ends up in American pockets !

Great October Socialist Revolution and its impact on world history

                                                                     

100 years ago - November 7 (October 25 to Art style.) 1917 - under the leadership of the Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Ilich Lenin perfected Great October Socialist Revolution. The working class, the working masses of Russia have taken power into their own hands.
October Socialist Revolution was a natural result of the entire preceding development of Russia and the entire world historical process. At the turn of the XIX - early XX century, capitalism entered its highest and last stage of development - the stage of imperialism.
Imperialist world war has brought to the proletariat, the working people all over the world untold hardships. On the fronts of the war, millions of soldiers have been killed, tens of millions have been maimed. Hundreds of millions of workers suffer from hunger and deprivation in the rear. Agriculture howling many countries were ruined.
By the beginning of 1917 an acute political crisis in Russia, which led to the February bourgeois-democratic revolution and the overthrow of the autocracy.
However, after the overthrow of the autocracy, the Mensheviks and SRs, who seized the deputy seats in the Council, gave power to the bourgeoisie, which formed a counter-revolutionary Provisional Government. The activities of the Government, supported by the compromising parties, was aimed at curtailing the revolution, the elimination of the gains of the people, for the continuation of the imperialist war.
This period of the history of Russia is characterized by dual power: on the one hand - the bourgeois Provisional Government, on the other - the Soviets of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies as organs of revolutionary-democratic dictatorship of the working class and the peasantry. The Mensheviks and SRs, fraudulently seized the leadership of the Soviets, in the conversion of their policy into an appendage of the bourgeois-landlord Provisional Government.
RSDLP (b) has launched large awareness among workers, aimed at exposing the counter-revolutionary nature of the Provisional Government and the compromising policy of the Mensheviks and Socialist parties. The treacherous policy of the Compromisers the Bolsheviks opposed the plan of struggle for the transition from the bourgeois-democratic revolution into the socialist revolution. The plan was outlined VI Lenin in the April Theses and adopted as the general party line. The main slogan of the party was the slogan: "All Power to the Soviets!". Bolshevik propaganda has found broad support among the people.
After the execution of the July demonstration in Petrograd dual power ended. The Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries openly took the side of the counter-revolution, all power passed into the hands of the bourgeois Provisional Government. It ended a peaceful period of the revolution, on the agenda the question was raised about the armed uprising. Since the Soviets, led by Mensheviks and SRs, slid into the camp of the bourgeoisie, the slogan "All Power to the Soviets" in the summer of 1917 has been temporarily removed. The Bolshevik Party went underground and began to prepare for an armed insurrection. in the course of an armed uprising was proclaimed VI Party Congress (b), takes place illegally in Petrograd from July 26 to August 3, 1917.
After the workers and revolutionary soldiers under the leadership of the Bolsheviks defeated the counterrevolutionary Kornilov revolt, and the proletarian masses of the soldiers were finally convinced that the Bolshevik Party was the only party that defends their interests. This fact was the basis for Bolshevisation Soviets. The party once again put forward the slogan "All Power to the Soviets!". But now it was the slogan of an armed uprising, the prerequisites for which have already matured.
In Russia, everywhere led by the Bolsheviks created the Red Guards. In October, the 62 cities across the country, there were up to 200 thousand. Red. The main forces were in Petrograd. In the second half of October, there were up to 23 thousand. Red ARMED. The Bolsheviks went PODAVLYAYUSCHSCHEE MAJORITY of the Petrograd workers and soldiers of the garrison and the sailors of the Baltic Fleet. Petrograd Bolshevik organization had in its ranks 50 th. Party members. "What a tremendous strength in the revolution - Lenin said. - Now the most important thing - it's manage it in such a way to win. "
But warned traitors Zinoviev and Kamenev interim government also mobilized military forces in an effort to get ahead of the performance of the proletariat. On the morning of October 24 the government issued an order to close the central organ of the Bolsheviks - the newspaper "Work Path." The building typography and editorial "Working path" Provisional Government had sent armored cars. Red Guards and revolutionary soldiers drove armored cars, and by 11 o'clock in the morning newspaper came out with an appeal to overthrow the Provisional Government. The uprising began in Petrograd.
October 24 night in Smolny (the seat of the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks) came VI Lenin immediately who took over the leadership of the uprising.
October 25 Red Guards and revolutionary troops occupied the railway stations, post and telegraph offices, ministries, the State Bank and other important objects of the capital.
In the evening of October 25 (7.11) in 1917 in the Smolny opened the II All-Russia Congress of Soviets, announced the transition of power in the hands of the Soviets. The congress adopted the historic decrees - the Decree on Peace, the Decree on Land, formed the first Soviet Government - the Council of People's Commissars. Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars was elected VI Lenin. At night, October 26 (8.11) was taken as the Winter Palace and arrested the ministers of the Provisional Government in session there.
Following the victory in the Petrograd Soviet power was established in Moscow and other cities. From October 1917 to January - February 1918 went on, as he wrote VI Lenin, "the triumphant march of Soviet power." Power was taken over the place, almost bloodless. H Parts Required to emphasize that in 79 out of 97 Russian cities, including Minsk, Soviet power was established by peaceful means, that, as already noted, was the result of the overwhelming superiority of the revolutionary forces. This was aided by the First World War, in which the capitalists are fighting for the division of the world, gripped the throat of each other, but because they could not seriously interfere in Russia's affairs. In addition, the Russian bourgeoisie was relatively weak, politically inexperienced and poorly organized and the first 8 months of his rule, did not have time to come to power. It is necessary to take into account the fact that during the October Revolution was headed by the working class of Russia, class, matured in a short time in two revolutions, has earned the trust of the people, who came in alliance with the poor peasantry, led by the Bolshevik Party, tested in political battles.
The main significance of the Great October Socialist Revolution is the first time in the history of the world victory of the proletariat, which overthrew the power of the capitalists and landlords, liquidated capitalism in the country, destroyed the exploitation of human, social and national oppression and able to start the construction of socialism. The October Revolution ushered in the era of socialist proletarian revolutions.
Lost power exploiting classes - the bourgeoisie and the landlords, unleashed a civil war in order to regain lost privileges and continue to further exploit the working people mercilessly. They came to the aid of their class brothers from abroad. 14 imperialist powers launched a military intervention against the young Soviet Republic.
In the crucible of the civil war was born, she is hardened and formed a powerful Red Army, the future Soviet armed forces of great power.
" Never win of the people - stressed Lenin - in which the workers and peasants for the most part learned, feel and see that they are defending their own Soviet power - the power of the working people that defend the case victory which they and their children will provide the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of culture, all creations of human labor "(PSS, t. 38, p. 315).
After defeating the White Army that protected the old order, and expelling the interventionist troops, our country has begun to peaceful socialist construction.
December 30, 1922 will of the peoples of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was established - a voluntary union of equal and fraternal nations and states.
After the death of Lenin All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) headed by a faithful disciple and closest associate of the leader Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin.
Under the leadership of Stalin, the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), was made the country's industrialization, collectivization of agriculture, the Cultural Revolution, during which it was done away with private property and the exploitation of man by man. By the mid-30s were built the foundations of socialism in the USSR. The victory of socialism has been enshrined in the Constitution of the USSR, adopted on 5 December 1936 and rightfully bears the name of Stalin.
By the end of the 30s the Soviet Union just 15 years (by 1925 the economy of the Soviet Union came to the pre-war level in 1913) caught up with and surpassed the most developed capitalist powers and its economic potential, has turned into a superpower, becoming the 2nd economy in the world.
Extraordinary heroism and courage showed the Soviet people to defend their socialist homeland from the Nazi invasion. It was the Soviet Union played a decisive role in the defeat of fascism, grinding on their fronts, more than 70% of Nazi troops. "For the Motherland, for Stalin!" - this slogan of Soviet soldiers climbed to the attack on the bestial enemy.
The Soviet Union suffered and the greatest human and economic losses in the war, having put on the altar of Victory 27 million of its sons and daughters. But after 4 years - despite the malevolence of enemies and enemies that the Soviet Union allegedly take several decades to lick the wounds of war, - the national economy of the USSR was restored. The Soviet Union went confident step forward, laying the foundation for the gradual transition from socialism to communism.
Questions transition to communist construction were considered outstanding work IV Stalin's "Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR". At the forefront while a further gradual reduction and, ultimately, the destruction of commodity production and commodity-money relations was delivered. " We, Marxists, adhere to the Marxist view that the transition from socialism to communism and the communist principle of distribution of products according to needs preclude all commodity exchange, therefore, and the transformation of products into commodities, and at the same time and their conversion into value '( JV Stalin, Vol., T.16, p. 222).
However, the death of the leader interrupted the further advancement forward.
IV Stalin walked firmly along the Leninist path. IN AND. Lenin created an organization of revolutionaries, and Nikita Khrushchev began the process of its destruction.
Anti-Stalinism unleashed petty-bourgeois grouping neotrotskistskoy Khrushchev, came to power in the party and the country after the death of Stalin, and openly proclaimed at the Twentieth Party Congress, interrupted by the onward march of development. The country began to gradually give up their positions in the struggle against imperialism. In the Brezhnev period of anti-Stalinism it was somewhat muted, but he continued his devastating effect in the economy, politics, ideology, party, and state-building.
The transformation of the party of the proletarian vanguard of the party "all the people", the rejection of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the replacement of its so-called "people's state", the rejection of Stalin's policy of annual decline in prices of essential commodities and basic food products on the basis of sustained and rapid development of the socialist economy, expanding the scope of commodity-money relations instead of narrowing it, as recommended by Stalin and that is the most important position of Marxism-Leninism - all this, as well as other anti-Stalinist (and wo respectively, anti-Leninist, anti-Marxist) actions and steps that led, ultimately, to the degeneration of the Communist Party and the Soviet state, and contributed to the formation of treacherous Gorbachev leadership. One reason for this degeneration is that the fields of the Great Patriotic War lay color All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks). 4 million or more than 51% of all those who fought the Communists (slightly less than half of the number of irretrievable losses of servicemen) , the best of the best, gave their lives for freedom and independence of our Soviet Motherland, for the salvation of mankind from the threat of Hitler's tyranny.
Under the guise of reconstruction under the leadership of Gorbachova I K °, the bourgeois counter-revolution has been carried out in our country. The Soviet Union was broken and treacherously destroyed socialism in the USSR and the People's Democracies in Eastern Europe suffered a temporary defeat.
* * *
It should be noted that the construction of socialism in the Soviet Union took place in the fierce class struggle.
The civil war and foreign military intervention; sabotage in the industry; fierce resistance kulaks during collectivization, which was poured into killing party, government and YCL activists, pits and grain burning, destruction of agricultural equipment and implements, massive destruction of livestock, leading to a dramatic reduction of his livestock, etc. - all these hindered our progress forward.
IV Stalin said: " There has never been and will not be to the obsolescent classes voluntarily handed over their positions without trying to organize resistance. It never was and never will be to promote the working class for socialism in class society could do without struggle and turmoil. On the contrary, progress towards socialism can not but lead to the resistance of the exploiting elements of the promotion and the resistance of the exploiters can not but lead to the inevitable sharpening of the class struggle. That is why it is impossible to lull the working class by talking about the secondary role of the class struggle . "(Works, t.11 p.172).
The views expressed hostile class elements in the party Trotskyists Bukharinites, Zinoviev and other anti-party groups that merged into a single anti-party anti-state bloc of Rights and Trotskyites, and were severely punished by the Soviet authorities for anti-state activities.
As noted in the "Short Course History of the CPSU (b)": " Trials have found that the Trotsky-Bukharin fiends, fulfilling the will of their masters - the foreign bourgeois intelligence services, were aimed to the destruction of the Party and the Soviet state, the country's defense undermining, relief of foreign military intervention , preparation of the defeat of the Red army, the dismemberment of the USSR, the Japanese out of the Soviet Primorye out the Poles Soviet Belarus, the Germans out of Soviet Ukraine, the destruction of the gains of the workers and farmers, capital recovery slavery-Terrorism in the USSR "(OGIZ, Gospolitizdat 1945, pp. 331-332). It is these insidious plans of the Trotsky-Bukharin anti-Soviet and traitors and managed to realize the Gorbachev leadership.
All the anti-Party anti-Soviet elements in their work enjoyed great support of foreign countries. The imperialist governments of the major Western countries for a minute did not stop the struggle against Soviet power, trying at all costs to destroy the world's first multinational state of workers and peasants that just by its very existence, by example, a grand success in building a new socialist society has an enormous impact on the working masses all over the world.
Government and major capitalist monopolies and the banks of the USA, England, France, in the hands of the Zionist capital, had a huge financial and economic assistance to the fascist regime in Germany to restore destroyed during the First World War, the economy, for the revival of the German armed forces have done everything to incite Hitler's Germany on the Soviet Union and Nazi hands to strangle our country. The heroic struggle of the Soviet people, its mighty Soviet Army did not allow it to come true insidious plans.
After the victory in the Great Patriotic War and the Second World War over German fascism and Japanese militarism, socialism went beyond a single country. It formed the world socialist system, which included the countries of people's democracy in Eastern Europe, as well as the Peoples Republic of China, the DPRK, the socialist Vietnam and Laos in Asia. In 1959, the victory of the socialist revolution in Cuba.
However, the negative processes in the Communist Party, could not help but reflect on the state of the world communist movement, on the relationship between the socialist countries. For refusal of life-tested and passed rigorous military trials school Leninist-Stalinist way of building and defending the gains of socialism, the CPSU Khrushchev was severely criticized by the Chinese comrades, as well as some of the other communist parties.
Relations between the CPSU and the CPC, the USSR and China, has come down to direct military confrontations, there were only the hands of world imperialism. Here anti-Stalinist policy of Khrushchev's leadership has played a very negative role.
* * *
Now in the world until the reigns supreme Zionist-American capital. Although recent events have shown that it begins to take their positions. This leads to the agony of American imperialism, fraught for humanity increases the danger of war.
The islets were only socialism in North Korea and Cuba, who proudly carry the banner of socialism undefeated on the planet. However, the path of socialist transformation is now followed by Venezuela and Bolivia, and in a number of capitalist countries (Colombia, the Philippines and others.) The activities of armed forces of the people, the leadership in the fight against the revolutionary theories of Marx, VI Lenin, Che Guevara. The sympathies of the oppressed working people to socialism could not be destroyed along with the destruction of the USSR.
Meanwhile, the world of capital increasingly immersed in an acute financial and economic crisis. Crises are by their very nature inherent in capitalism, especially at its highest imperialist stage and are a reflection of an increasingly insoluble and deepening the contradictions between the social character of production and the private capitalist form of appropriation of the results of labor. This was written Karl Marks and Friedrich Engels even in the "Communist Manifesto": " For several decades, the history of industry and commerce is but the history of the revolt of modern productive forces against modern conditions of production, against the property relations that are the conditions of existence of the bourgeoisie and its domination. It is enough to mention the commercial crises that by their periodical return, more and more menacing question the existence of the entire bourgeois society "(" Communist Manifesto ", Moscow, Politizdat, 1987, p.31).
And as usual, the imperialists are looking for a way out of the crisis in the ways of unleashing newer and newer wars and violent conflicts. Only in the last 26 years (since the destruction of the World Socialist System), the US-NATO predators committed acts of military aggression against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, bombed Libya, sparked a civil war in Syria, more and more, along with its closest ally of Israel, stir up the situation around Iran.
At the same time pursue only one goal - to capture new sources of natural resources and raw materials, especially oil, turning workers countries subjected to aggression in cheap labor for transnational corporations and, thereby, the extension of its worthless inhuman existence. The main object of attacks Zionist-American imperialism remains Russia with its vast territory, untold natural resources, oil and gas storage rooms, cheap and still enough skilled labor. Conquer Russia and its people to turn into powerless slaves TNC and TNB - a cherished goal of the current "owners of the world." In achieving this goal, they openly assist the bourgeois governments of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and in varying degrees of other former Soviet republics, the conductive anti-national policy in the interests of the US and NATO.
Stop presumptuous predators that his reckless policies can destroy all of humanity - the duty of all freedom-loving peoples of the world, the international working class and the toiling masses, all those who are fighting against the omnipotence of capital, for the fact that the real master of the world became the working man - a creator of wealth and civilization advances .
On the stage of history as a century ago, by the course of historical development, put forward the working class and the laboring masses of Russia and other republics of the Soviet counter-revolution exploded.
Revive our great Soviet homeland - the most important task of all revolutionary communists of all fighters against imperialism and for the triumph of the ideals of socialism and communism and the victory of labor over the yoke of Capital.
Long live the Great October Socialist Revolution!
Down with the power of capital!
Revive our great motherland - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics!
No matter how hard today - we are sure to win, because the laws of history working for socialism!

WPK Sides with Foreign Communist and Workers' Parties

Pyongyang, November 5 (KCNA) -- Kim Su Gil, alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and chairman of the Pyongyang City Committee of the WPK who is leading the WPK delegation, on Nov. 2 made a speech at the 19th International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties held in Sankt-Peterburg, Russia.
Kim said that the great October Socialist Revolution that took place in Russia in 1917 was an epoch-making milestone in history that enabled the working masses to fulfil their long-cherished desire for an ideal society-a society free from exploitation and oppression where everybody enjoys an equitable happy life.
The history of mankind for the last century shows that capitalism, for its reactionary nature and structural contradictions, can never bring dignity and happiness to the masses of people, while socialism, with its eternal viability for its scientific accuracy and truthful nature, is the only future of mankind, said Kim, adding:
In the report to the historic Seventh Congress of the WPK, Comrade Kim Jong Un, chairman of the WPK, declared that socialism is a common ideal of mankind, that it is a law of historical development that mankind advances socialism.
Under circumstances where there is a sharp confrontation between socialism and capitalism, the WPK has held high the banner of socialism and built socialism of our own style centred on the masses of people, in the face-to-face showdown with U.S. imperialism, the chieftain of the world reactionary forces.
The miraculous successes being made in the DPRK is vivid evidence of the truth that socialism is science and so is its victory.
To build a peaceful world free from war is the goal the WPK is aiming at: to endeavor for peace and security of the region and the rest of the world is the consistent stance of the WPK.
The current situation on the Korean peninsula clearly proves that our nuclear weapons are now serving as powerful deterrence that safeguard peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in Northeast Asia and guarantee the Korean nation its sovereignty, right to existence and right to development.
No matter who says what, the WPK will never step back even an inch from the path of Byongjin, and will firmly defend the Korean-style socialism centred on the masses of people. We will root out the U.S. threats of a nuclear war and safeguard peace on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
The WPK will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the communist and workers' parties of the world in the effort to advance the victory of the cause of socialism, the future of mankind. -0-

From clandestine meetings - to the gunshots, "Aurora"

http://vkpb.ru/index.php/sovetskaya-istoriya/item/2882-ot-podpolnogo-zasedaniya-k-vystrelam-avrory

One hundred years ago, on October 10 (old style and the Modern - 23 October) 1917 in Petrograd, a meeting of the Central Committee of the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party of Bolsheviks / RSDLP (b) /, where it was decided to armed insurrection - the October Revolution in Russia.

The meeting of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party took place in the underground. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was hiding from the sleuths of the Provisional Government. The party leadership gathered in the apartment Bolshevik GK Flakserman on Mercy Street on the Petrograd side.

Mainly during the meeting was the speech of Lenin. The leader of the Bolshevik Party apparently did not immediately know. Shaven, without the usual mustache and beard, he told colleagues convincingly why the time is ripe for an armed action, why still "early yesterday" and "tomorrow will be too late", and why it is necessary to take power in the coming weeks.

In favor of the Bolshevik Party was the "explosive" growth of its authority and popularity among the masses of the working people. The working people, weary of war, unresolved issues about power, land and in the world, massively voted for the Bolsheviks in the election of deputies to the Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies. Compromising parties were losing, and the place of the Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries in the Soviets came delegates from the Bolshevik Party.

But a positive atmosphere in favor of the Bolsheviks could change. The bourgeoisie did not sit idly by. The interim government has set a target output of the major cities - in Petrograd, Moscow, Minsk - Bolshevik-minded military units, sending them to the bullets on the front and replace the upper part of yourself. Moreover, all the more clear it became that the bourgeois Provisional Government headed by A. Kerensky ready to surrender Petrograd to the Germans - to thus get rid of the main revolutionary center of the country.

Delay and wait for further development of the situation was no longer possible.

"The Central Committee recognizes that the international position of the Russian revolution (the revolt in the German navy, as an extreme manifestation of the growth throughout Europe of the world socialist revolution, then the threat of imperialist world with the aim of strangling the revolution in Russia) - and the military situation (the indubitable decision of the Russian bourgeoisie and Kerensky with K ° to surrender Petrograd to the Germans), - and the acquisition of the majority of the proletarian party in the Soviets - all this in conjunction with the peasant revolt and the swing of popular confidence towards our party (the elections in Moscow), and finally, an explicit n odgotovlenie second Kornilov affair (the withdrawal of troops from Petrograd, the dispatch of Cossacks to Petrograd, the environment Minsk by Cossacks, etc.) - all this puts on the agenda the armed uprising ", - stated in the resolution of the Central Committee, prepared by Lenin.

The Central Committee of the absolute majority supported Lenin. But not unanimously.

Lenin was the recognized leader of Bolshevism. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of workers, soldiers and peasants to join the RSDLP (b), they knew that the Bolshevik Party - a party of Lenin. Lenin, in his activity relied on the loyal companions - IV Stalin, YM Sverdlov, FE Dzerzhinsky AM Kollontai and others. But the RSDLP, which grew from the depths of social democracy, had in themselves and opportunist elements of deception. Such were the members of the Central Committee, Kamenev and Zinoviev.

Since the beginning of February Kamenev opposed the deployment of the revolution of the bourgeois-democratic to the proletarian. During 1917 his position moved and Zinoviev. At the historic meeting of the Central Committee, they voted against the armed uprising. But not only. A week later, Kamenev, on its own behalf and on behalf of Zinoviev, posted a "New Life" in the Menshevik newspaper article, which said, gave the Bolsheviks plans to organize an armed uprising, warned the interim government.

Opportunist position was taken, and another member of the CC - Trotsky. Joined the Bolshevik Party a couple of months ago, in August, the former Menshevik and "mezhrayonets" Trotsky called for the "postponement" of the uprising. He suggested postponing the uprising in Petrograd until the convocation of II Congress of Soviets of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies. If Lenin wanted to put before the Congress of Soviets fact fall of the Provisional Government and the transfer of power, Trotsky actually offered to drown the question of power in the discussions between the Council of Delegates, among whom were the Mensheviks and SRs. A provisional government would get the time to pull the armed forces loyal to him ... This proposal ran counter to the requirement for the early Lenin armed uprising.

"The issue is very serious, and the decisive moment is near. The position of the international is that the initiative should be behind us. What was afoot to turn Narva and Peter surrender, even more forces us to act. The political situation also impressive works in this direction. July 3-5, decisive action on our part would be thwarted by the fact that there was no majority behind us. Since then, our ascent goes with giant strides. Absenteeism and indifference of the masses can be explained by the fact that the masses are tired of words and resolutions. Most are now behind us. Politically, the case perfectly ripe for the transition of power ", - fixed protocol address record of Lenin.

A few days later it held an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee of the RSDLP (b), which again supported the line of Lenin. At this meeting, the party of the military revolutionary center to direct the uprising, was elected, which was responsible for the mobilization of the Bolshevik organizations in the armed action. Party Center headed by Stalin and Sverdlov.

October 25 (November 7, New Style), with Neva thundered the guns of the cruiser "Aurora", and detachments of revolutionary soldiers and workers occupied after a brief storm the Winter Palace - the residence of the last of the Provisional Government. So in Russia (and the world) opened a new era.

The decision to move to a new era was taken at that historic meeting, on 10 (23) of October in an apartment on the Petrograd side.

KIM JONG IL ON THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS

                                                 

The modern revisionists yielded to the US imperialists ,promising that they would withdraw their missile bases as well as all weapons they had deployed in Cuba "
 
 "they provoked the Cuban missile crisis against the Republic of Cuba which put a severe strain on the situation.
The crisis teaches us the serious lesson that the socialist countries should not reveal any weakness in the face of the US imperialist aggressors but stoutly resist them . The weaker the former appears before the US imperialists , the more outrageous and insolent the latter becomes .
      The crisis , also shows that the socialist countries should not rely on the strength of another country in defending themselves . One should defend one's country on one's own strength , foreigners cannot defend it in one's own place . The recent developments indicate that is is a daydream to think that a big country with the latest weapons will ensure the security of brother countries "

The man who lit the flame of the struggle against the bourgeois counter-revolution

                              Vladimir Ivanovich Klushin

                                 (23.01.1926 - 17.10.1996)

Vladimir Ivanovich Klushin was born on January 23, 1926. After his studies at the secondary school in 1940 he entered the aviation school in Leningrad. During the Leningrad blockade from 1941 to early August 1943 he worked as a turner at one of the military plants of besieged Leningrad. In early August 1943 he volunteered to fight in the partisan detachment. From August 8, 1943 to March 4, 1944, he was in the 2nd Leningrad Partisan Brigade operating in the territory of the Leningrad Region, occupied by the enemy, in Detachment 5 as an ordinary soldier before the liberation from the invaders of the districts of the Leningrad Region.

In October 1944, short-term training was held for the preparation of the Komsomol subsidiary at the Political Department of the 36th Infantry Division and further, the company of the 129 Guards Rifle Regiment of the Guards Rifle Division fought with the Komsomol of the Guards Infantry Regiment. In battles on the Leningrad front for the liberation of Estonia in November 1944, he was seriously wounded - a direct bullet wound in the left lung.

After hospital, he was sent to the First Tomsk Artillery School, after which, since 1946, he served as the commander of a fire platoon of the 2 Guards Artillery Division, from 1950 to 1955 - the senior officer of the battery of the 22th Infantry Division of the Far Eastern Military District.

He was awarded the government awards of the Soviet Union: the Order of the Red Star, of the Fatherland War, two medals "For Military Merit", a medal "For the Defense of Leningrad" and another 18 medals.

After demobilization from the Armed Forces of the USSR, he entered the Philosophical Faculty of the Leningrad State University named after A.A. Zhdanov, who graduated from extern in 1959 with a diploma with honors. He was then assigned to work at the Leningrad Chemical and Technological Institute named after the Leningrad City Council.

In 1964, he defended his Ph.D. thesis ahead of schedule, in 1971 - a doctoral thesis, in 1966 - an assistant professor, since 1971 - a professor, from 1964 to 1989 he headed the philosophy department of the LTI named after. The Leningrad City Council. In 1989, he was fired from his job by the counter-revolution for political reasons.

An outstanding teacher of Soviet youth, a talented teacher, brilliantly erudite lecturer Vladimir Ivanovich enjoyed a deserved authority among students, graduate students, teachers who were fortunate enough to listen to his lectures. He possessed encyclopedic knowledge in the field of philosophy, sociology, the history of culture, military science, problems of modern natural science.

In the period before and after the "Prague Spring", while on business trips to the Higher School (Prague, Czechoslovakia), he gave lectures for teachers and graduate students of the Higher School, for party members of the ideological contingent. In Prague, two volumes of his monograph-textbook for graduate students have been published in the Czech language ("Philosophical and methodological foundations of the natural sciences of the twentieth century").

He wrote more than 200 scientific articles (part in German) and several monographs on the history of Soviet sociological thought (1917-1936) and the philosophical problems of natural science ("The Struggle for Historical Materialism in the Leningrad State University in 1918-1925", "The First the learned Marxists of Petrograd ", co-authored by Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR B.A. Chagin, two academic publications -" The Struggle for Historical Materialism in the USSR "and" Historical Materialism in the USSR in the Transition Period of 1917-1936 ").

He was one of the greatest theoreticians of modern Marxism-Leninism-Bolshevism. His monograph "The Punishing Hand of the Revolution before the Judgment of Time" (To the origins of the metamorphosis of the "philosophy of L.D. Trotsky"), handed over to the Akademkniga publishing house, was returned to the author without any explanation and subsequently created many enemies and problems, including dismissal from work in the period of "perestroika". Note that V.I. Klushin was the first in the USSR in the 1970s to raise the question of Trotsky and began to read public lectures in the audiences of Leningrad University and the Central Lecture Hall, hammered to the limit by listeners. His monograph was then the first and unique in the USSR monograph on Trotsky, who tried to break through the taboo barrier on publications about this "violent" Bolshevik, "the dodgy enemy of Soviet power.

V.I. Klushin was a very strong, proud and independent person and, at the same time, surprisingly modest in everything. He passionately loved people and therefore probably did not see their weaknesses. Or did not want to see, understood and forgave their weaknesses, always tried to help them than he could. He strongly encouraged his employees to grow, work on dissertations. Under his leadership, more than 100 candidate's and several doctoral dissertations were defended. Among his Ph.D. candidates are several foreign post-graduate students.

He was an excellent companion and soul of the company. He loved Peterhof - the pearl of modern Russia and gladly "guided" his friends, graduate students and students on the beautiful nature reserves-parks of Peterhof, the presence of which was not even suspected by many residents of Leningrad.

In the period of the counter-revolution in the one-room cooperative apartment in Petrodvorets, in an acute discussion with opponents - the teaching staff of Leningrad universities and party workers in the autumn of 1988, the idea of ​​creating the All-Union Society "Unity for Leninism and the Communist Ideals" (Yedinstvo) was born. Because of the cowardice and treachery of the Leningrad Central Party nomenclature of the CPSU, the idea of ​​creating the Society materialized at the Constituent Conference of the Society only in May 1989 in Moscow. After the tragic August events of 1991 in the country under the leadership of V.I. Klushina after the All-Union Conference on the Bolshevik Platform in the CPSU (July 13, 1991) during September, the Program of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks was adopted, adopted at the Constituent Congress of the AUCPB on November 8, 1991 in Leningrad. The decision to hold a Constituent Congress of a new party, a party of the Leninist type, was adopted at a conference of the Leningrad organization of the All-Union Society "Unity" on September 21, 1991. The delegates to the Congress designated the name of the new party - the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on November 8, 1991. We were the first to raise the Bolshevik banner of Lenin-Stalin high-the banner of the struggle against counter-revolution.

Knowing perfectly the methodology of the Marxist-Leninist analysis, he possessed the gift of scientific foresight. Through the shroud of future historical events, he was able to see what was not allowed to be seen by others. Therefore, his life has confirmed the forecasts for the negative development of the processes of Gorbachev's perestroika and in Yeltsin's Russia. He walked ahead of the era in his scientific analysis, which is probably why he was not always understood. His conviction in his rightness irritated some and created him enemies, especially among Leningrad university elitist liberal intelligentsia.

Let's note, first of all, the so-called "Sobchak team" - the dean of the law faculty of Leningrad State University, the first mayor of the city, in spite of the opinion of the townspeople who renamed in 1991 the city of Leningrad into St. Petersburg (Sobchak died in 2000). His "team" of liberals occupied and now occupies the most important posts in the Russian Federation. These are graduates from the law faculty of the Leningrad State University Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, Dmitry Kozak and German Gref, as well as Yegor Gaidar (died in 2009) and other "nestlings of Sobchak's nest", many of whom occupied leading posts in the government of Leningrad (St.- Pb): Anatoly Chubais, Igor Sechin, Alexei Kudrin, Vladimir Churov, Alexei Miller, Vladimir Zubkov, Sergei Naryshkin and others, closely associated with Leningrad University, a former (?) hotbed and anti-Soviet headquarters. Sobchak's team in our time continues it, Sobchak, the so-called liberal political course ...

Vivid political public speeches by Klushin at international forums of communist and workers' parties in Brazil, Germany, Italy confirmed his authority as a party politician, a major theorist who made a significant contribution to the development of modern Marxism and the rallying of the international communist and labor movement in the struggle against modern opportunism.

Vladimir Ivanovich was indefatigable and obsessed with work. He was always a soldier of the ideological front, whom the Socialist Motherland urged to defend and defend the eternal values ​​of the eternally living teaching of Marxism-Leninism. Excellent knowledge of the scientific methodology of Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin, he sincerely and confidently believed that the revival of socialism and the Soviet Union is only a matter of time.

The unexpected and premature departure from life on October 17, 1996 (he was helped to leave) full of energetic energy, plans, ideas and decisions of V.I. Klushin became a heavy and irreplaceable loss for the party of the AUCPB, for the communist movement, not only in our country.

We, the members of the AUCPB, continue the work of fighting counterrevolution, a cause that the real communist gave himself to, the Bolshevik Vladimir Ivanovich Klushin.

The best memory of him is our real work to revive our beautiful great Socialist Motherland, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

CONGRATULATIONS FROM UKRAINIAN COMRADES

The year 2017. How do the Soviet people represent it? How did we imagine our future? Factories and factories, collective and state farms, higher educational institutions and research institutes, reliability and stability - all this was already our present. The country launched satellites, space rockets and put into orbit interplanetary stations. They were our vision of the future. The future is distant and at the same time close, the future is incredible and at the same time possible. Our future.

However, history ordered differently. The collapse of the USSR. Destruction of industry and agriculture, science and culture, reliability and stability. But the most important thing is the destruction of Soviet man. The destruction of everything that was its foundation: friendship, compassion, love, honesty, sincerity, humanity and selfless service to people. And today, among the information flow, we see former Soviet people ... former people who stood under the banner of the killers of not only our homeland-the USSR, but the murderers of all mankind. Because in this war there will be no winners, and only the defeated will be.

And at times when hopelessness embraces the heart, on the way there are people, Soviet people who have not abandoned the Soviet heritage, from Soviet ideals and Soviet principles.

These people live in different republics of the USSR. People of different ages, different nationalities, different, but not betraying the past and the future. Among these people there are those who first stood up for the defense of the USSR during the years of rampant betrayal.

It's you, Dear Nina Alexandrovna. Thank you for your honesty, steadfastness and courage. Thank you for your struggle and your support.

We wish you good health, patience and strength in the struggle for Soviet man, in the struggle for the USSR.

Congratulations on your birthday!

Comrades from Ukraine

Adm. For obvious reasons, the names of the comrades who sent the congratulation are not published.

 -------------------------
And a letter of congratulations from the DPRK

From Nina Alexandrovna Andreeva: I thank everyone who congratulated me on my birthday and those who sent my congratulations.

Overview of the labour movement for the first half of August across territory of former USSR

Pskov workers strike helped to obtain the release of retained salaries

On August 1, employees of the enterprise "Blagoustroistvo" went on strike. The strike was organized by the workers in order to obtain the release of the retained earnings.

After the beginning of the protest action, the strikers received a notice about the transfer of money to their salary cards. However, the employees were not given full amounts of their earnings. Thus, the strike ended in a partial victory of the workers.
–-----------------------------------------------

Strike by seamen from the Rostov region

On August 1, Russian citizens started a strike in the Turkish port of Tuzla. The sailors of the ship, assigned to the port of the city of Taganrog, resorted to the strike because of the long delay in payment of wages.

At the time of the start of the protest, the crew members had not received the money for the period from March to July 2017.

To protect their labor rights, the crew intends to demand the negotiation of a collective agreement.
–---------------------------------------------

Rally in Saratov

In the evening of August 10, a protest action was held in the Victory Park of the Leninsky district of the city against the abolition of regional benefits. More than 300 people took part in the rally.

The speakers told the Saratov people about the plans of the regional authorities to reduce the benefits, including veterans, for payment of housing services. Questions of lawlessness by management companies, corruption in the implementation of improvement programs, repair of outside areas, recreation areas of the city, as well as problems of the local water canal and "Gorelectrotrans" were raised.
----------------------------------

Desperate protest action by Novosibirsk workers

In early August, builders, who did not receive a salary for several months, climbed the tower crane and demanded payment for their labour.

After the workers were brought their money, they climbed back down. The debt to them was more than 200 thousand rubles.

The first such case in Novosibirsk occurred in May. In the Oktyabrsky district of the city, a builder climbed to the boom of a tower crane and announced the decision to jump down due to months of salary delays. As a result, the man was paid his wages.
–-----------------------------------------------

Strike by workers in Georgia

On August 9, more than 100 employees who are laying a 12-kilometer stretch of the Samtredia-Grigoleti road, gathered at the company's office in Lanchkhuti and demanded higher wages, as well as better working conditions and food. In addition, the strikers announced the need for timely issuance of special clothing.

The salary, according to the participants in the strike, is about 14-19 laris, which is only 6-8 dollars a day.

A call to our combative people

We face the recovery with the example of Comandante en Jefe de la Revolución Cubana, Fidel Castro Ruz, who, with his unwavering confidence in victory and iron will, taught us that nothing is impossible
Author: Raúl Castro Ruz | internet@granma.cu
 

Hurricane Irma, with its destructive power, battered our island for 72 hours, beginning the morning of September 8 until this Sunday afternoon. With winds that surpassed 250 kilometers per hour on occasion, it crossed the north of the country from Baracoa - hit hard by another phenomenon of this type almost a year ago - to the outskirts of Cárdenas. However, given its immense size, practically no province was spared its effects.
Described by experts as the largest ever to form in the Atlantic, this meteorological phenomenon caused severe damage to the country, which, precisely because of its scope, has yet to be quantified. A preliminary view shows evidence of an impact on housing, the electrical system, and agriculture.
 

 It also struck some of our principal tourist destinations, but damage will be repaired before the beginning of the high season. We have on hand for this the human resources and materials needed, given that this constitutes one of the principal sources of income in the national economy.

These have been difficult days for our people, who, in a few hours time, have seen what was constructed with great effort hit by a devastating hurricane. Images from the last few hours speak for themselves, as does the spirit of resistance and victory of our people that is regenerated with every adversity.
 

In these difficult circumstances, the unity of Cubans has prevailed, the solidarity among neighbors, discipline in response to instructions issued by the National Civil Defense General Staff and Defense Councils at all levels, the professionalism of specialists at the Institute of Meteorology, the immediacy of our communications media and its journalists, the support of mass organizations, as well as the cohesion of National Defense Council leadership bodies. Special mention for all of our women, including leaders of the Party and government, who with aplomb and maturity provided leadership and confronted the difficult situation.
 

 




The days that are coming will be ones of much work, during which the strength and indestructible confidence in the Revolution of Cubans will again be demonstrated. This is not a time to mourn, but to construct again that which the winds of Irma attempted to destroy.
With organization, discipline, and the coordination of all our structures, we will move forward as we have done on previous occasions. No one should be fooled; the task we have before us is huge, but with a people like ours, we will win the most important battle: recovery.
At this critical moment, the Cuban Workers’ Federation and the National Association of Small Farmers, along with all other mass organizations, must redouble efforts to eliminate as quickly as possible the trail left by this destructive event.
One principle remains immovable: the Revolution will leave no one unprotected and measures are already being adopted to ensure that no Cuban family is left to their fate.
 

As has been customary every time a meteorological phenomenon has struck us, there have been many expressions of solidarity received from all parts of the world. Heads of state and government, political organizations, and friends in solidarity organizations have expressed the desire to help us, who we thank in the name of more than eleven million Cuban men and women.
 

We face the recovery with the example of Comandante en Jefe de la Revolución Cubana, Fidel Castro Ruz, who, with his unwavering confidence in victory and iron will, taught us that nothing is impossible. In these difficult hours, his legacy makes us strong and unites us.
Raúl Castro Ruz
Havana, September 10, 2017

ON THE OCCASION OF THE 69TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA

The DPRK was created by the Great Leader, Comrade Kim Il Sung, on September 9, 1948. This socialist state was created as a result of almost 50 years of bloody struggle against the Japanese colonialists, which ruined the country and turned its inhabitants into slaves, and young women into sexual slaves in soldier's Japanese brothels.

The DPRK is now celebrating its 69th anniversary. Without any outside help, relying on the patriotism and enthusiasm of its people under the leadership of its great leaders - Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, using only its resources, the DPRK has evolved over the years of hard struggle and labor for the benefit of the Fatherland into an economically and politically independent a state that was able to make wide use of the world scientific and technological progress and its own developments for the development of its scientific base.

  

 

Nowadays, the DPRK is a highly developed state that possesses its own nuclear technology and atomic weapons, so necessary to protect and preserve its independence in the face of deep confrontation with the United States throughout all the years since its inception. Confrontations with the United States, which never stopped organizing more and more frightening sanctions against the DPRK, aimed at the economic elimination of the DPRK, threatening the preventive use of nuclear weapons. But the louder the US squealed with weapons, threatening sanctions to the freedom-loving people, the more hatred grew among Koreans and the irresistible desire to create the opportunity to threaten the US itself. This desire for today has come true.

The DPRK in response to the ominous threats of the United States is testing one type of ballistic missile after another. The DPRK declared itself to be a nuclear power in 2005, in the beginning of December 2012 launched its first Earth satellite, "Kwangmanson-3", on January 6, 2016, announced the hydrogen bomb test, February 7, 2016. launched a space satellite - "Kvanmenson-4", and July 4, 2017. on the US Independence Day - a national holiday in America - carried out a test developed by DPRK scientists of a powerful ballistic rocket of vertical take-off.

July 29, 2017 In the DPRK, a new test of the advanced intercontinental ballistic missile Hwaseon-14 was carried out, announcing that now the territory of the United States is under the sights of Korean missiles. New Korean missiles in their technical parameters and ballistics have ended the myth of the inaccessibility of the territory of the United States for strikes against them by the DPRK. The DPRK has thwarted US banditry on the world stage in Northeast Asia. According to the statements of the Koreans for any military provocation by the United States, the KPA Air Force will inflict a destructive nuclear missile strike.

The latest test in the DPRK of the intercontinental ballistic missile "Hwaseon-14" caused a panic shock in the United States due to the fact that now they can receive an adequate response to their blackmail and military lawlessness in relation to the DPRK.

With a fear by the United States like a thief who was caught red-handed, there raised the scream of alleged violations by the DPRK of the UN Security Council decisions, forced their vassals, including China and Russia now, to vote for the UN Security Council resolution on sanctions against the DPRK and asked Russia for help and China - "to curb the DPRK, to ban the testing of Korean ballistic missiles."

The DPRK does not intend to attack anyone, but only defends its national interests, living and working on the principle of "One to one hundred!". The creation and testing of its nuclear weapons for the DPRK is currently the only effective factor in preserving not only its independence, but also the civilization itself on the Korean peninsula in the context of the US's unlimited banditry on the world stage.

For us Bolsheviks, it turned out to be very strange that Russia and China voted in the UN Security Council to impose new monstrous sanctions against the DPRK at the request of the United States. Sanctions that can be qualified as suffocating the DPRK by famine. According to experts, the UN Security Council's harshest resolutions adopted against the DPRK "absolutely and accurately entail negative humanitarian consequences."

The position of the Russian Federation and China when voting in the UN Security Council put them on the same level as the US, the board of imperialist predators. How else can we qualify in essence the rejection of the agreements of the two great powers with the DPRK? Acknowledgment of your defeat? Both great powers cowardly left the DPRK one on one in front of a mad, bloodthirsty predator, feeling the approach of its collapse.

US resolution on sanctions against the DPRK of August 5, 2017. brought the world to a dangerous red line in the beginning of the world armed conflict. And every effort should be made to resolve the conflict on the Korean peninsula in diplomatic ways.

We Bolsheviks do not doubt that our Korean friends stand in the present conditions of the most cruel evil and hatred. So it was always before. So it will be now.

We congratulate the heroic Korean people and their leader Comrade Kim Jong-un on the anniversary of the establishment of the DPRK and wish the socialist country the morning calm of new achievements and victories in the face of the DPRK's confrontation with world imperialism.

J.V. Stalin returns to the pedestal thanks to the peoples’ memory

On August 30 this year, An initiative group of citizens, which includes the members of the AUCPB, the RKRP, our supporters and sympathizers, repeatedly applied to the mayor's office of the city of Novosibirsk with a statement about the location of the monument to Generalissimo J.V.Stalin.

After Stalin's death, monuments erected to him were demolished, and the name and deeds of the Leader were slandered. We demand the restoration of historical justice. The erection of Stalin on a pedestal in the centre of the largest metropolis of the country will put an end to the blackout of the memory of the Leader and of all our heroic Soviet era.

Today, Stalin's authority among the people is the highest and most popular among the last decades and among other outstanding statesmen not only in Russia.

We propose to put a monument to I.V. Stalin to the 100th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, which we celebrate in this year, 2017.

WE recall that the mayor's office refused to install the monument to J.V. Stalin in the Square of the Heroes of the Revolution.

Now we propose to put the monument in the centre of the city on the Red Avenue near the stand of the Heroes of the Great Patriotic War (on Sverdlov Square) or in the Novosibirsk Technical College. Pokryshkina (30, Stantsionnaya Street), where on 5 May the Patriot memorial and historical park was opened with busts of Zhukov, Rokossovsky and Talalikhin.

The territory of the Novosibirsk Pokryshkina Technical College as a place for the monument to Stalin was proposed by the mayor's office.

We believe that the best place is the square near the stela to the Heroes of the Great Patriotic War.

During the war in this place the Siberians gathered and went to the front.

Our new proposal should be considered by the mayor's office at a meeting of the artistic council within a month and a half.

The bust of J.V. Stalin has already been made by us (the author is a sculptor from Novosibirsk, Pavel Markov). We collected money for the monument from across the whole world. Money transfers are coming from all over Russia from Moscow and St. Petersburg (Leningrad) to Vladivostok, from Arkhangelsk to Sevastopol. To date we have collected more than 300 000 rubles.

Now we are raising funds for a granite pedestal.

STATEMENT OF THE SECRETARIAT OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE AUCPB IN DEFENSE OF THE DPRK

STATEMENT OF THE SECRETARIAT OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE AUCPB IN DEFENSE OF THE DPRK

Statement of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the AUCPB on the issue of the adoption by the UN Security Council of a resolution on sanctions against the DPRK

On Saturday, August 5, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted another resolution on the DPRK, which significantly toughens sanctions against this rebellious and freedom-loving socialist country, at the suggestion of the United States. The resolution aims at strangling the people of the DPRK, changing the political regime in this country. According to the US calculations, the full implementation of the provisions of the resolution will reduce Pyongyang's annual foreign exchange earnings, currently amounting to about $ 3 billion, to $ 1 billion. According to experts, the most severe sanctions against the DPRK, adopted by the UN Security Council, "absolutely and accurately entail negative humanitarian consequences." Let's add that the main force that prevents the legitimate desire of Koreans to unite the two parts of Korea is the Americans, who in this case would lose the reason for staying on the peninsula. The stay of Americans in the territory of the Korean peninsula is connected with the fact that after the end of the Second World War the Soviet troops, following an agreement with the DPRK in December 1948,left the peninsula. Americans refused to do this. Today, the Americans in South Korea have a colossal military grouping, including missile defense systems: two airbases, a fleet base and a Marine Corps base (totaling 28.5 thousand people). Most recently, the US deployed the South Korean missile defense system THAAD, capable of intercepting missiles launched from the territory of the DPRK. An even more powerful US military group is located in neighboring Japan: five airbases, two fleet bases, two Marine Corps bases and a radar station (50,000 people).

It should be taken into account that all this military grouping is aimed not only against the DPRK, it is located in close proximity to the borders of China and the Russian Far East, i.e. threatens the entire region of Northeast Asia. Therefore, the vote of the representatives of China and Russia in the UN Security Council for the resolution on sanctions against the DPRK is not only a cowardly, but not a far-sighted step.

The confrontation of the United States with the DPRK has been continuing since the very founding of the DPRK. This confrontation resulted in the bloody Korean War of 1950-1953, in which the United States was defeated, the first to end the war not by victory, but by the signing of a truce only. After the Korean War, the US embarked on pushing the adoption of ever new and frightening resolutions of the UN Security Council against the DPRK aimed at the economic destruction of the DPRK, coupled with constant threats of a preemptive nuclear strike against the DPRK. But the louder the US clanked with nuclear weapons, the more the Koreans' hatred grew to the essentially criminal actions of the United States, an irresistible and just desire to create a threat to the US itself grew. This desire is now realized by the DPRK.

In the last twenty years of the DPRK, in response to ominous threats by the United States, is testing one type of ballistic missile after another. In 2005, under Kim Jong-il, the DPRK declared itself as a nuclear power; on December 12, 2012, it successfully launched its first Earth satellite, Kwangmanson-3; on January 6, 2016, it announced a hydrogen bomb test, on February 7, 2016. launched a space satellite - "Kvanmenson-4", and July 4, 2017 on the US Independence Day - a national holiday in America - made a test developed by DPRK scientists of a powerful ballistic rocket of vertical take-off. On July 29, 2017 the DPRK carried out the second successful test of the advanced intercontinental ballistic missile "Hwaseong-14", which confirmed that the US territory is now under the guns of Korean missiles. The new Korean missiles in their technical parameters and ballistics have ended the myth of the inaccessibility of the territory of the United States for retaliatory strikes against them by the DPRK. The Koreans put an end to US banditry in Northeast Asia!

The latest test of the intercontinental ballistic missile in the DPRK caused a mental shock in the United States because now they can really get an adequate response to their blackmail and military and economic lawlessness in relation to the DPRK. With fear of the United States, as a thief who was caught by the hand, raised a howl about alleged violations of the DPRK by the UN Security Council decisions, forced their vassals, including Russia and China at their own initiative, to adopt a new UN Security Council resolution on sanctions against the DPRK.

It is not by chance that the resolution was adopted at the very moment when the DPRK has already convincingly demonstrated its own opportunity to cause the States themselves unacceptable damage to them. And, thus, the main goal of the DPRK nuclear program has been achieved. The fact that the adoption of the resolution is, as it were, the completion of the "stage", underscores the statement in the UN Security Council of the new Russian ambassador, who said that the way of sanctions pressure on the DPRK has been exhausted. Translated from the diplomatic one, this could mean that Russia will not support further resolutions on the same topic. This would be good!

The DPRK has never attacked anyone and is not going to attack anyone, but only defends its national interests, its historical choice and its civilization. The DPRK is creating and testing its nuclear weapons, because it is currently the only effective factor for preserving not only its independence, but also human life itself on the Korean peninsula in the face of unbridled banditry in the United States. The people of the DPRK selflessly work for the benefit of their beloved homeland and, as their song says, "does not envy anyone."

Russia, on the other hand, continues to humblely lobby the United States, calling it its "partners." And it declares its "partnership" constantly instead of "putting the US in its place", even if it is refusing to use unprofitable, unrestrainedly printed green paper dummies - American dollars, buying them up, more precisely - in a gangster stolen national wealth of Russia. Russia should learn from the DPRK how to have and preserve the dignity of the great people, who own untold natural resources and a huge territory in 1/9 of the Earth's terrestrial land (the USSR occupied 1/6 part). People who have a great history and great culture.

We, the Bolsheviks, find it very strange, and monstrous in their consequences, the voting of the Russian Federation and China in the UN Security Council that did not veto the draft of the American resolution that threatens the destruction of the political and economic country and people of the DPRK. How to explain the position of the two great powers against the DPRK in support of the US banditry? Fear for your own skin? But the DPRK nuclear program is strictly defensive in nature and this country is not going to attack anyone! The position taken by Russia and China placed them on the same level as the US, the board of imperialist predators. How else can we qualify in essence the rejection of the previous agreements with the DPRK of these two great powers? Fear of the US? Acknowledgment of your defeat? Both great powers cowardly left the DPRK one on one in front of the insane, bloodthirsty, feeling the approach of their agony predator.

We Bolsheviks believe that Russia made a huge mistake in supporting the United States in adopting a resolution on sanctions against the DPRK by the UN Security Council. HOW and WHO now will believe the agreements of friendship signed with Russia with other countries? How did President Vladimir V. Putin forget about the triumphant meeting of the DPRK people in Pyongyang in 2000? ..

The people of Russia and the Soviet Union have always been on the side of the weak and defended it. The current Russia should be remembered about this historic humane mission of Russia.

The United States by its resolution on sanctions against the DPRK of August 5, 2017 has brought the world to the dangerous red line of the beginning of the world armed conflict. And every effort should be made to resolve the conflict on the Korean peninsula in diplomatic ways.

We demand the withdrawal of all US troops and weapons from the territory of South Korea!

At the same time, history once again confirmed that in order to "eliminate the inevitability of wars, it is necessary to destroy imperialism". This statement of J.V. Stalin today, as never before, remains relevant.

We Bolsheviks do not doubt that our Korean friends stand in the most severe conditions of the modern, inflamed world, which is being destroyed by the gangster policy of the United States. We are confident that the DPRK will necessarily triumph over the forces of evil and hatred. So it was always before. So it will be now.

FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, WE WISH

To the courageous Koreans

STEADFASTNESS AND VICTORY!

Speech made by Sid French against the 1977 draft of the "British Road to Socialism". Merton Civic Hall , Wimbledon , 9th June, 1977 - just over a month before the establishment of the New Communist Party of Britain.

 Speech made by Sid French against the 1977 draft of the "British Road to Socialism". Merton Civic Hall , Wimbledon , 9th June, 1977 - just over a month before the establishment of the New Communist Party of Britain.

Whilst not pretending that everyone here is agreed about the draft British Road or what we should do about it, this great meeting is an indication of the tremendous concern about the attempted revision of our basic programme which exists in and around our Party . The meeting is part of a public nationwide debate called by the Executive Committee. It is beginning to look from the reactions in one or two parts of the country that the Executive Committee is not now so keen on the public debate as it may first have appeared to the naive. Criticising such a document does not normally lend itself easily to public meetings of this size and I therefore apologise if you feel there are too many quotations in this lecture. I am not here to criticise the style or even the odd section. The large majority of the Surrey District Committee among thousands of comrades up and down the country believes that this document is a revision of Marxism, that it is an attempt to compromise and to avoid the inescapable class struggle. As such it must be totally rejected and replaced by a Marxist-Leninist programme. In opening a discussion on our District Committee Mick James summarised the stages of the process laid out in the draft and I don't think it is too unkind to the authors to put his points in here. According to the draft we shall proceed as follows:

1. We build the broad democratic alliance. 2. In due course it convinces the majority of the people of the need for socialism. 3. They then elect a Left Labour government which carries out a policy that includes taking over some of the large firms and gradual democratisation of the State machine. 4. This process goes on with the steady improvement of living standards and the extension of democracy and freedom. As a result of this there is the election of successive Left governments. 5. Finally the Movement is strong enough to ease itself into a position of taking State power from the monopoly capitalists. 6. The socialist government will then operate on behalf of the sovereign parliament in a pluralist democracy. 7. If it is defeated in an election by a non-socialist Party it will surrender office and much of what it has been able to achieve will be negated. 8. If it is re-elected the process will start all over again. One is tempted to comment the very best of luck - you will certainly need it.

Capitalism today is in a profound crisis. Moreover, the economic crisis is deepening and this is not disputed by the apologists for capitalism themselves, many of whom concede that this is the worst crisis since the 1930s. In spite of this, the possibility of a revolutionary situation arising from the interplay of the deepening economic and political crisis is not even considered is not even mentioned in the present draft. That certainly explains a number of our problems today. Also it explains why when the overwhelming majority of parties in the world communist movement have a Marxist-Leninist position the minority which have not are in what were previously the so called imperialist mother countries of Western Europe and Japan. The struggle for parliamentary representation is a legitimate part of the revolutionary strategy as is the struggle to get a Left or socialist government reflecting the aspirations, responding to the demands, of the overall revolutionary movement. But it is part of our responsibility to ensure that the revolutionary forces, and through them the masses, are aware that any attempt to introduce a transfer of power via parliament will in all probability precipitate a major constitutional crisis. We should not baulk at this possibility but regard it as an opportunity to be taken advantage of, to be turned into a revolutionary situation in which the possibility of seizing power might well become a crucial necessity. Should the socialist revolution come in this way there would certainly be no question of forces and parties hostile to socialism being allowed to operate freely since the working class would most likely have to impose a state of emergency, something else which is not allowed for in the reformist Road to Socialism. It is not surprising that the lessons of Chile are not taken to heart in this draft. They do indeed come a little too near home to be comfortable. In a number of ways the Chilean Road to Socialism was similar to the one we are proposing. It was a constitutional road - it was to have been a peaceful road. In certain areas, as in the role of the armed forces and police, and in the concept of the democratisation of the State, an insufficiently deep class analysis contributed to the temporary defeat of the revolutionary process that was precipitated by the forces of national and international reaction. Of special significance and of the greatest pertinence to our discussion on the "British Road to Socialism" is the critical and self-critical analysis being made by the Chilean Communist Party in recent editions of World Marxist Review. In particular pages 34 and 35 of the January edition should be essential reading for anyone tempted to fall for the current soft sell of the British Road to Socialism. In addition to this Luis Corvalan in an important speech made in Moscow in January this year showed very clearly that the revolutionary fight to establish the broadest possible alliance against the ruling military Junta and American imperialism in no way negated the necessity of  establishing working class power - i.e., dictatorship of the proletariat. In fact so important and so specific is he on this point that I will quote the passage in full: "In the light of what has happened in Chile, it is now necessary to bring to power a popular government that can repel all the plots and putsches engineered by imperialism, domestic reaction and fascism. There is no question of establishing a proletarian dictatorship in the country today; but at a definite moment in its history that question will necessarily arise and will make the democratic gains more real." Everybody here presumable will agree with the need for the broadest possible alliance whether for immediate economic demands or on political issues. It is the attempt to substitute a government of the broad alliance for the dictatorship of the proletariat as the path to socialism which should concern us all. In order to get this conception over the new draft has to spread confusion on the nature of the working class. After reading some parts of the draft one wonders why it is necessary to have an alliance at all! The working class is so large there is surely no need. It is such a huge percentage of the population that it is itself the broad alliance. What is surprising is the attempt to present these anti-Marxist ideas as something new. They were all dealt with so many times before by all the great communist leaders from Marx down to Harry Pollitt. Lenin the nice Russian leader as distinct from those who invaded Czechoslovakia! said in 1918 -"Bourgeois democracy, although a great historical advance in comparison with medievalism , always remains , and under capitalism is bound to remain , restricted , truncated , false and hypocritical, a paradise for the rich and a snare and deception for the exploited, for the poor. It is this truth which forms a most essential part of Marxist teaching, that Kautsk though 'Marxist' has failed to understand." It appears that some others have failed to understand it too. What is the real situation? We are experiencing the greatest capitalist crisis for close on 50 years. There are 1.5 million unemployed. "Experts" talk confidently of 3 million. The Daily Mail, a fortnight ago, forecast that shortly one third of all architects in Britain would be drawing the dole whilst millions are without proper houses. Last week it was the turn of medical students who are now promised unemployment. Whilst we cut social services and our health deteriorates. It has begun already for tens of thousands of trained teachers. Don't let the publicity about these sections detract from the plight of hundreds of thousands of young workers without jobs, without training and outside of socialist revolution little future indeed. For those fortunate enough to be in work there is a direct cut in living standards. On the other hand, there is the situation in the socialist world. Many including some who should know better in our own Party are apparently very concerned about a mythical lack of freedom there. They have been so affected that they fail to see the issue in class terms and talk of freedom as though it were something absolute irrespective of the economic and state power in each country. But what about freedom in Russia. What about the rights of dissidents? I'll tell you about the most famous of them all as reported in last Friday's June 3rd Evening Standard: "Solzhenitsyn has one million pounds say Swiss”. Author Alexander Solzhenitsyn reported an income of £192, 000 and a fortune of more than 1 million to the Swiss tax authorities in 1974 after he was banished from the Soviet Union. This official information was published today by Switzerland's top circulation newspaper Blick today in angry reaction to the author's latest book in which he calls Switzerland "A money-miserly republic of Lackeys". Perhaps Maisie a telegram of sympathy to the Swiss people from this great meeting inscribed -ever been had - might be in order. In the socialist countries, particularly in the Soviet Union, living standards are going up by roughly the same margin as they decline in the "free" world. Rents and food prices are basically stable. Though one has to confess that a rent increase was allowed in the Soviet Union as recently as 49 years ago! There have been no unemployed since the twenties. Even the Guardian is forced to admit despite the qualms of the Women's page of "Morning Star" that women are nearer to equality in that country than anywhere else in the world. Their children have four times the opportunity to go to a university as do our own. Instead of our basic position being a stressing of our pride of association with the greatest event of all human history and subsequent advance we seek to trim our sails. Therefore day after day we treat our readers to stories about so called dissidents and their antics. We have now discovered that fact that Russian men do not treat their women as equals and largely ignore the situation of women in the Soviet Union in all the professions throughout industry from manual skills to top management and of course in parliament and local government . In the YCL it is worse with almost open appeals to the Czech Young Communist League to revolt against its socialist government. If the British YCL's appeals to Czech youth are as successful as they unfortunately are in this country the Czech revolution has little to fear! It is clear that this opportunism is designed to ingratiate us with the electors of Britain. If it is, it isn't succeeding very quickly. Three weeks ago we had the biggest round of local elections and that very British phenomenon the swing was about 25% away from us. In the recent Dutch election our seats dropped from seven to two. Ah, but what about Italy? Well in Italy you have a completely different situation in two major respects. The electoral system and its pendulum swing have worked for us there, as we are the electoral alternative party to the Christian Democrats. We did not get into that position by policies of an Italian Road, the historical compromise, we want Italy in NATO, Britain should be in the Common Market etc., the Communist Party of Italy came out of the war as the alternative electoral party not through these policies but through its revolutionary struggle in the fascist factories, in the national armed uprising in 1944,  and against the background of the colossal sacrifices of Russian and other communists Unfortunately in Britain we are not the electoral alternative to the Tories. Therefore our opportunism is not even succeeding in buying us votes. I have already mentioned the state the YCL is in but all the Party EC does is to congratulate them on their advances. As we reach the end of yet another card issue campaign our membership is down and looks like ending up two or three thousand light. Morning Star circulation falls practically all the time despite an almost continuous campaign. Since January we have already lost over a thousand daily readers, a rate of 1% per month. You might expect our Party to be self-critical but no, instead two things flow from it, the first is that we rationalise it in this latest draft by agreeing to surrender the vanguard role of the Communist Party. The more we do so of course the more our members and supporters fail to see the need of a Marxist-Leninist party and tend to cease membership and activity. Nowhere is this more apparent over recent years than in that most decisive sphere the trade union movement. The TUC General Council and the General Secretary's Offices are littered with Left members of our broad alliance who were previously members of our Party. Hugh Scanlon, Lawrence Daly and Clive Jenkins are only a small section but they prove the point. Secondly we have a very comfortable explanation. We don't need to be self-critical because we are not responsible; it is the wickedness of the Soviet Union that is holding us back. Therefore disassociation from the CPSU is the magic key which will open all doors for us in Britain. Dispensing with such unpleasant things as the dictatorship of the proletariat opens up the road to even further disassociation from the Soviet Union which some of our leaders now forlornly think is the way to ingratiate us with the electorate. This dream is not working, and will never work. We are not suggesting that everything is perfect in the Soviet Union any more than it will be in the Socialist Society of Britain but it clearly is the greatest card which British communists today possess. One could spend all night on the points that are wrong in this draft. The most important is the attempt finally to ditch any conception of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Of course we are all democrats but anyone not knowing too much about politics will believe that we were engaging in a schoolroom exercise in which the prize was awarded to whichever pupil could get the word democracy in the most number of times. The pages are not numbered but have a look at the page which starts line 1231. There are only 65 lines on the page and the word democracy appears on 15 separate occasions. This may be the most extreme example but the whole document has the same disease. I know that Shakespeare was not a Russian poet but he did say something about "Methinks thou do protest too much". The draft does however reluctantly refer to the 14 countries which are on the road to socialism in the world today. What it doesn't point out is that nowhere in the world is anybody advancing to socialism by applying the theories of or under the leadership of men like Karl Kautsky , Ramsay MacDonald. or even Jim Callaghan. In fact these 14 have all had four things in common. 1. They arose out of violent confrontation. 2. They did not give promises that they would hand back power to the capitalists if defeated in a free election, whatever that is. 3. They have all established a dictatorship of the proletariat. 4. They were all led by a vanguard Marxist-Leninist party.

Now we all accept without any reservations whatsoever the desirability of bringing about socialism as peacefully as possible. There is no doubt for instance that if Monaco is the last country to go to socialism that Princess Grace will find it difficult to lead much armed resistance. However, what we must not do is allow our hopes for the future to blind ourselves to what has happened in the past. The historic world breakthrough which was made under the leadership of Lenin's party arose out of a struggle against the bloody imperialist war where millions had been slaughtered. Then following the revolution many more were murdered by the armies of intervention. Then came the blockade by the "democracies" which led to the death of millions more. Then came the second world war when 20 million Soviet youth gave their lives to save mankind. But of course it wasn't only the Soviet Union. We have the world experience of what reaction will do in the twentieth century to prevent social advance. The war in Spain , the American invasion of Vietnam , the US backed fascists in Chile, the British overthrow of Jagan in Guyana , the overthrowing of the elected communist government in Kerala . Many things may be in doubt but one thing is absolutely certain that if as we hope we take the peaceful road to socialism in Britain, the main , in fact the overwhelming factor making it possible will be the change in the balance of world forces which the Soviet Union is primarily responsible. Having use the word democracy as often as possible and expressed the almost racing certainty that we shall go to socialism the peaceful way line 1483 in the draft is fairly natural "The declared position of the labour movement, including the Communist Party, is that it will respect the verdict of the electors, and that a Left government will stand down if it is defeated in an election ." As I have already indicated no successful Marxist party or socialist government has ever given such an undertaking. It is not only the recipe for disaster - the Australian Labour Party's recent history offers some advice on this. It is also a formula for undermining the Leninist understanding of the state. If we were to stand down does anybody seriously expect the ruling class just having mobilised its resources , its lies , its tricks , its whole weight, then to hand back to us like the gentlemen they are. They may have been taught social conduct on the cricket grounds of Eton and Harrow, but we are talking about what they have been taught in the class rooms about class rule. There appears to be some confusion judging from the correspondence in the Morning Star and comment among the supporters of the new draft as to whether we are ditching finally the dictatorship of the proletariat or only the unfortunate words! Happily for historians but unfortunately for Italian workers our mentors the Italian Party are in no doubt. According to the Morning Star February 18th 1976, the Head of their International Department, Comrade Pajetta said that they have long abandoned the dictatorship of the proletariat. The working class should have a leading guiding role in society, but only as a result of a concensus . "This does not contradict pluralism. Capitalist society has long lived through a period of bourgeois democracy with many parties, and the middle class has had a genuinely predominant social, cultural and political influence inside the party system." To read some of the supporters of the draft you can be sure if Marx and Lenin were here today they would of course be voting for it lock, stock and barrel! Unfortunately for these apologists Marx and Lenin are not here today. They, like mary other communist leaders were never men to mince words and when they believed that something should be valid in all circumstances, they said so. That is why they laid it out so clearly, their views on the absolute necessity of the dictatorship of the proletariat. In the critique of the Gotha programme which of course was a polemic with a social democratic programme, Marx said "between capitalist and communist society lies a period of the revolutionary transformation of one into the other . Corresponding to this is also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat. In 1916 that is a year before the Russian revolution, Lenin wrote that slogan which you can

see up there if the sight of it doesn't make your eyes blanch . It continues "The dictatorship is state power based directly on violence and in the twentieth century - as in the age of civilisation generally the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat ." There are some of course arguing 1916 was a long time ago, if Lenin were alive today he would take a different line. Didn't the Party leadership in this country abandon the whole idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat in the first edition of the British Road in 1951? They certainly didn't and if they had, they didn't tell John Gollan they had because in 1961 writing on behalf of the Executive Committee in a booklet appropriately called "Democracy and the Class Struggle" he said among other things "these 44 years of Soviet experience have proved both the essential need and the historically transient character of the dictatorship of the proletariat." Why then should our leadership be trying to hide the whole idea rather than try to win the support for it as the only road to socialism. Is it only because the words are not the sort of language that very English institutions like the MCC prefer to use? Well that is a matter of opinion, and I would like to tell you the opinion of one very successful communist leader Comrade Zhivkov when he said on behalf of the Bulgarian Party at the 1969 World Conference of Communist Parties: "What is unnatural in this case is that certain communist functionaries join in such Criticism on the 'undemocratic' nature of the system in socialist countries and the ruling role of the Communist Parties there . "Criticising the social system in socialist countries they, unfortunately, deviate from the Marxist-Leninist teaching of the state, ignoring the scientific, class analysis of the progress and requirements of socialist construction in our countries , they , in fact , proceed from the notion of 'ideal' bourgeois democracy of 'pure' democracy: its multi-party system, opposition parties, struggle for electoral votes, parliamentary manoeuvres in forming this or that government etc ." There cannot be any doubt about one aspect of the 1951 original version of the British Road. It clearly laid out the need for a Marxist-Leninist party playing a vanguard role. Now of course the Party leadership has abandoned it . However, pleasant this may seem in the comfort of this hall, it is a dream world. In fact when the workers see the Labour Party moving to the Left after a socialist government has been elected many of them will turn even more strongly towards that government and not towards the Communist Party . No, this is not the road to socialism, this is the road to opportunism and disaster. It must be defeated at the coming congress . The size of this great meeting is a sign that the forces who can do this are gathering. Therefore step up the fight everywhere possible in the next five months to ensure the defeat and for total rejection of this draft. Socialism will not be built anywhere least of all in the oldest capitalist country in the world without a mass Marxist—Leninist party . A party based as it must be on proletarian internationalism, proud to be associated with the great victories of the socialist world and in particular the Soviet Union and as such taking its place in the world array of Communist Parties. Win, lose or draw in November we pledge ourselves to continue the fight for the building of such a party.
